The CheckaLoad app requires a license to be purchased from Telstra. Please download the app for more information
CheckaLoad is a mobile app for smartphones and tablets which can assist organisations and individual users to understand their obligations in relation to load restraint compliance and safety in the Transport, Logistics and Manufacturing industries.
The objective of CheckaLoad is to bring greater consistency to load restraint compliance throughout the chain of responsibility including drivers, loaders and consignors as well as assisting law enforcement officers and inspectors to maintain compliance.
NOTE: CheckaLoad is not a load restraint design tool, but rather a compliance tool to assess the user’s chosen load restraint method. Drivers and loaders will still need to be vigilant for risks relating to the transportation of freight.
